Stop throwing away your marmot meat!

Seeing tons of hunters going after groundhogs lately but most are probably tossing the meat because it tastes like garbage. Trust me, I've been there. Here's how to actually make it taste decent: Critical prep steps: Remove ALL fat and glands (armpits, groin, tail base) - this is where that nasty smell comes from. Then brine it 12+ hours in water, vinegar, and salt. Some guys use milk instead. Cooking methods that work: Mountain stew style (my go-to "drunk marmot" recipe), confit, or mix minced marmot with pork for dumplings. What NOT to do: Don't grill it - turns into rubber you can't chew. Marmot needs way more attention than other game meat, but done right it's actually pretty good. Anyone else got cooking tips for these little guys? #hunting #marmothunting #wildgamecooking

Never Eat Soggy Broccoli Again!

1️⃣ Steam it for 4–5 minutes. You’ll get tender, bright green florets that are perfect for picky eaters or a healthy side. 2️⃣ Boil for just 3–4 minutes in salted water, then shock it in ice water. This keeps the color and that fresh crunch—no more sad, mushy broccoli. 3️⃣ Sauté for 5–7 minutes in olive oil with garlic and a sprinkle of salt. The edges get golden and it’s honestly delicious. 4️⃣ Roast at 400°F for 15–20 minutes. The tips get crispy, the flavor is rich, and a little cheese on top takes it over the top. Don’t overcook it—shoot for that perfect al dente bite. Trust me, broccoli will actually become your favorite green! #broccoli #easyrecipes #cookinghacks #Food #Cooking

🥞Pancake Batter from Scratch, Easier Than You Think!

Mix all your dry ingredients in a big bowl—think flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the milk slowly, stirring as you go to avoid clumps. Crack in the eggs, add a splash of vanilla, and drizzle in some vegetable oil. Whisk until the batter is smooth—no lumps allowed! Heat your frying pan over medium-high and grease it with either butter, oil, or a quick spray. Spoon the batter onto the pan. Flip each pancake when bubbles form on top and the edges look set. Cook until both sides are golden brown. Serve hot and pile on your favorite toppings—fresh fruit, syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar. You’ll never look at boxed mix the same way again! #pancakerecipe #breakfastideas #fromscratch #Food #Cooking

Anyone actually made marmot taste decent?

Shot my first marmot this weekend and holy crap, the smell hit me like a truck. Rancid doesn't even cover it. Before I toss this thing, has anyone figured out how to make these edible? Need serious cooking advice here. #hunting #marmothunting #MarmotCooking #gamemeat

Ultimate cooking guide from Spam lovers

Slice your Spam into thick or thin pieces, depending on your mood. Thicker slices are great for a burger, while thin ones crisp up beautifully for salads or sandwiches. Toss those slices in a hot skillet with a little oil. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. If you want a sweet kick, drizzle a bit of maple syrup in the last minute for a caramelized crust. For a lighter option, bake Spam slices at 425°F on a parchment-lined sheet for 10-12 minutes. This cuts down on the grease but keeps the flavor strong. If you’re feeling adventurous, cut Spam into cubes and grill them for 1-2 minutes per side. The char marks and smoky flavor are next-level, especially topped with pineapple. For a snack, wrap fried Spam in sushi rice and nori for quick Spam musubi. It’s a game-changer for lunchboxes or road trips. #SpamRecipes #EasyCooking #FoodHacks #Food

I bet you've used Rancid Butter Without Knowing it

Your baking disasters might be caused by spoiled butter, and most people don't even realize it. Check the expiry date first This seems obvious, but butter can go bad even before the date if stored poorly. Look at the storage situation Butter exposed to light goes rancid faster. If it's been sitting unwrapped, that's a red flag. Do the color test Cut a small slice and compare the inside to the outside. If the inside looks lighter, it's oxidized and no longer fresh. Trust your nose Fresh butter has a clean, mild smell. Rancid butter smells off - you'll know it when you smell it. Taste test as last resort If it tastes sour or funky, toss it immediately. Don't risk ruining your recipes with questionable butter. These quick checks take seconds but save your cooking. #butterfreshness #cookingbasics #kitchentips #Food #Cooking

Quick Way to Soften Butter for Baking

Ever forget to take your butter out of the fridge before baking? Here’s my go-to trick to soften it fast without melting it! Cut the cold butter into small cubes and spread them out on a plate. Fill a glass with hot water, let it sit for a minute, then dump the water out. Place the warm glass upside down over the butter cubes. Wait about 5 minutes—the butter will be perfectly soft and ready to use! This little hack saves me every time I want to whip up cookies or pancakes on a whim. Try it and thank me later! #kitchentip #dakotahdame #bakinghack #Food #Cooking

Spicy Ramen Grilled Cheese Is a Wild Flavor Combo 🥪🔥

Spicy ramen grilled cheese is exactly what it sounds like—ramen noodles and gooey cheese smashed between crispy bread, all toasted up. The first bite hits with a kick of chili and that unmistakable ramen seasoning, then the cheese melts in and cools it down just enough. Tried this at a little spot in the city after a long workday, and honestly, I was just curious if it would be weird. Turns out, it’s a total flavor bomb. The crunch, the spice, the melty cheese—didn’t expect it to work, but it totally does. #SpicyRamenGrilledCheese #FoodMashup #StreetEats #Food

I Didn’t Know How to Feed Myself

I used to think being active at work would cancel out what I ate. Twelve-hour shifts, always moving, always tired. Fast food was just easier—no decisions, no mess, no one to judge me at a drive-thru window. But lately, my body feels like it’s breaking down. Muscles that should be strong feel hollow. My stomach is a mess. I’m not overweight, but I feel heavy in ways I can’t see. I keep telling myself I’m young, but my energy says otherwise. Sometimes I wonder if this is just what happens when you never really learned how to take care of yourself. Not just the food, but the part where you believe you’re worth more than convenience. #FoodGuilt #NotJustAboutTheScale #LearningToEatAlone #Health #Diet
